Episode 1 – ChatGPT-5 and Monetizing LLMs
 

AI is moving fast, and not always in the way we expect. In this episode of Good Enough Isn’t, host Patrick Patterson (CEO) and co-host Myles Biggs sit down with Howard Diamond (CRO) of Level Agency about the launch of ChatGPT-5 and what it means for both power users and everyday professionals.

They dig into:

  • Why ChatGPT-5 underwhelmed some heavy users
  • OpenAI's agent mode potential (and its limits)
  • The rise of competitors like Gemini, Claude, and Grok
  • How Grok is testing ads inside AI responses
  • Perplexity’s $34.5B bid for Google Chrome
  • Meta’s AI ad suite that can build campaigns automatically

The conversation also looks at the bigger picture, trust, privacy, creative disruption, and why old-school tactics like direct mail might resurface in an AI-driven world.

If you want a candid, no-ego look at where large language models are headed, and how they’ll reshape marketing and innovation, this episode delivers insights you can’t miss.
